about

A fun co-write with my drummer of many years. A LOT of enjoyment was had recording this one with a caste of unlikely musicians for a children's song.

lyrics

DEEP IN THE JUNGLE WHERE YOU HEAR THE MONKEYS CALL
THE ELEPHANTS DO TRUMPET THE BIRDS THEY DO SQUAWK
SLINKS A CAT WITH A MANE AND SOME LONG SHARP TEETH
AND A ROAR THAT WOULD WAKE YOU FROM A DEEP DEEP SLEEP

AND WHAT WOULD YOU SHOUT IF YOU CAME ACROSS THIS BEAST?
“OH MY GOODNESS! IT’S A LION!

IT’S A LION [ THE KING OF THE JUNGLE]
IT’S A LION [ THE CAT WITH NO EQUAL]
IT’S A FRIGHTENING THING WHEN YOU COME ACROSS A LION IN THE JUNGLE

HE’S BIG AND HE’S GREY AND HE EATS WITH HIS TRUNK
AND IF YOU SAW HIM AT THE ZOO HE’D BE EATING PEANUTS
HE TRUMPETS AND HE STAMPS AND HE’S REALLY REALLY STRONG
BUT THERE’S NO NEED TO BE SCARED UNLESS A MOUSE COMES ALONG

AND WHAT WOULD YOU SHOUT IF YOU CAME ACROSS THIS BEAST?
“OH MY GOODNESS! IT’S AN ELEPHANT!’

IT’S AN ELEPHANT [HE’S BIG AS A HOUSE]
IT’S AN ELEPHANT [ BUT HE’S SCARED OF A LITTLE MOUSE]
IT’S A REALLY BIG DEAL WHEN YOU COME ACROSS AN ELEPHANT IN THE JUNGLE

SWINGING THROUGH THE TREETOPS WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
LIKE TARZAN IN THE JUNGLE FROM TREE TO TREE
I SEE SOMEONE STARING HE’S LOOKING AT ME
A BEAST WITH A TAIL GOING OOH! OOH! EE! EE!

AND WHAT WOULD YOU SHOUT IF YOU CAME ACROSS THIS BEAST?
“OH MY GOODNESS! IT’S A MONKEY!”

IT’S A MONKEY [ HE’S EATING A BANANA]
IT’S A MONKEY [ BIG YELLOW AND YUMMY]
IT’S A FUNNY THING WHEN YOU COME ACROSS A MONKEY IN THE JUNGLE

IT’S A LION
IT’S AN ELEPHANT
IT’S A MONKEY
